colonial inn

Revolutionary-era guesthouse

A colonial inn is a lodging establishment styled after or dating from America's colonial period, roughly the 1600s through 1770s.

These inns typically feature period architecture—clapboard siding, shuttered windows, wood beams—and often emphasize historical atmosphere: We stayed at a colonial inn in Williamsburg.

Some are authentically old buildings; others merely evoke the aesthetic.
